Chilaquiles Rojos
Classic Chilaquiles Rojos, featuring crispy tortilla chips bathed in a rich, smoky guajillo-tomato sauce. A comforting and flavorful Mexican breakfast or brunch staple.
๐ง ์ฌ๋ฃ
- 400 g Corn tortilla chips(Store-bought or homemade. Stale chips work best as they absorb sauce without becoming too soggy.)
- 4 Dried guajillo chilies(Remove stems and seeds. For a milder sauce, remove more seeds. For a spicier sauce, leave some seeds or add a dried arbol chili.)
- 4 Roma tomatoes(About 300g. These are preferred for their lower water content and good flavor.)
- 2 Garlic cloves(Peeled.)
- 0.25 medium White onion(Roughly chopped.)
- 240 ml Chicken broth or water(To adjust sauce consistency.)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil(For frying the sauce.)
- to taste Salt
- 120 ml Mexican crema or sour cream(For topping.)
- 100 g Queso fresco or cotija cheese(Crumbled, for topping.)
- 200 g Shredded cooked chicken(Optional, for a heartier dish. Can also use shredded beef or pork.)
- 4 Eggs(Optional, fried or scrambled, for topping.)
- small bunch Fresh cilantro(Chopped, for garnish.)
- 1 Sliced avocado(Optional, for garnish.)

Prepare the guajillos: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat (approx. 180ยฐC / 350ยฐF). Lightly toast the deseeded guajillo chilies for about 30-60 seconds per side, until fragrant and slightly pliable. Be careful not to burn them, as this will make the sauce bitter. Immediately transfer the toasted chilies to a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for at least 15-20 minutes until fully softened.
โฑ๏ธ 20 minutes - 2
Cook the aromatics and tomatoes: While the chilies soak, add the tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, and chopped onion to a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and their skins have started to split. Drain the vegetables.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes - 3
Blend the sauce: Drain the soaked guajillo chilies. In a blender, combine the softened guajillos, cooked tomatoes, garlic, and onion. Add 1 cup (240ml) of chicken broth or water. Blend on high speed until very smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more liquid. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any skins or seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 4
Fry the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat (approx. 180ยฐC / 350ยฐF). Carefully pour the strained sauce into the hot oil (it will splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes. The sauce will darken slightly in color and thicken. You'll notice the oil separating from the sauce and it will become more fragrant. Season with salt to taste.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 5
Combine with chips: Add the tortilla chips to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss the chips to coat them evenly. Let them simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chips to absorb some of the sauce but still retain a slight crispness. If using shredded chicken, add it now and toss to combine.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 6
Serve: Immediately transfer the chilaquiles to serving plates. Drizzle generously with crema, sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, and garnish with chopped cilantro. If using, top with a fried or scrambled egg and sliced avocado. Serve hot.

- โFor a smoother sauce, blend for longer and strain thoroughly.
- โAdjust the heat by adding or removing seeds from the guajillo chilies, or by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- โChilaquiles are best served immediately after preparation to prevent the chips from becoming too soggy.
- โServe with a side of refried beans or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
